Default Caple Washing machine, "rubbery" smell.

Our Caple WMI 1012 washing machine produces a burnt rubber smell when
washing. It's not all the time, on the last couple of washes, it was
fine, now it's back again..

I am thinking most of these are direct drive these days, so it's unlikely
to be belts and stuff.

The only thing I can think of, is the door seal. We have found some small
balls of rubber similar in colour to the door seal, but can't see anywhere
where it's worn thou.

Does this sound like the likely candidate? Is it worth taking a punt on
one.

I found this, and it looks pretty simple to replace...
